Apocalypse whenever

Some historians seem to be worried that Mel Gibson’s latest pseudo-historical drama Apocalypto, might turn out to be more pseudo than historical. Ya think? That he gives the illusion of authenticity by having actors speak in a modern Mayan that would be unintelligible to Mayans of the day reflects the Roman Legionaires in his last pseudo-historical effort, who spoke medieval Church Latin rather than the dialect of the first century. That’s a stretch greater than allowing James Brown to play Chaucer, but of course all is permissible in the retailing of the Faith, isn’t it Mel?

Then too, the film which seems to be based on a protagonist trying to escape some mass sacrifice, which Mayans apparently didn’t do in the first place, is no worse than his dismissing the life, works and teachings of Jesus in favor of explicit, hard core, sado-porn and 4th Century Greco-Roman mystery crap, but confusing Aztecs and Mayans and the countries they lived in won’t bother Americans any the more than portraying Jesus as an Aryan. We’re all a bunch of idiots when comes to history and barbarians when it comes to caring about it.

Frankly, I wish this baby-faced bullshit artist would go back to claiming that the Jews of Germany migrated to Australia rather than Auschwitz so that the hilarity of his phony history lessons would be seen in better light.

Of the historians who criticize his tendentious twaddle, “I frankly don't give a flying fuck about much of what those critics think” said Gibson to Time magazine.

Nice talk Jeezeboy. Go tell it on the mountain and I don’t give much of a damn about your sick crappy beliefs either. Go say a hundred Hail Mary’s or go fuck yourself – whatever.
